Tell me everything about Christianity

Answer 1

Jesus who is also called the Christ on whom Christianity is based said "Think not that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets. I have not come to abolish them but to fulfil them." Therefore Christianity goes back a very long way, thousands of years. The Law is written in Scripture.

It would be impossible therefore to write down here everything about Christianity but the four essentials according to Scripture for living a Christian life are:

1. Humility or faith and trust in God which is the foundation of all true relationships with God.

2. Communication with God through prayer and self-denial.

3. Observance of The Law which is written in Scripture and in the hearts of those who love the truth.

4. The offering of sacrifice to God and partaking of the sacrificial offering (various animal and bird offerings in the Old Testament, the Lamb of God in the New Testament, the sacrifice of the Mass in the Catholic Church).

That's a really broad question! But, a basic summary.

Christians believe that Jesus Christ was born 2000 years ago. They believe that He was the Son of God, that He did great miracles in His life, that He was crucified and died, and more importantly, that He came back to life! There were many prophesies made about Him in the Old Testament, and He fulfilled those. And we know that He was a real person; we also have some testimony from outside sources with nothing to gain that there were miracles performed. Josephus, a first-century historian, wrote that there were stories of a day when the sky went dark in the afternoon; something that was mentioned as happening when Christ died.

If you want to find out more, I would recommend going to a church in your area. They're always happy to any questions you have.
